"Otherwise, when you really have nothing left, you won't even be able to cry. When that happens, you might really have to sleep in the open."
Wang's face darkened. Knowing that Yunzhi would not plead for her, she had no choice but to go and beg Dongli Lucang again.
However, Lu Cang of Dongli completely ignored the other party and said to An Xiuyuan, "Lord An, you can't even manage your own family, so I don't think you should be an official anymore?"
Upon hearing this, Madam Wang was terrified. Her son had lost his title; if he couldn't even hold office, wouldn't they become ordinary citizens?
This won't do.
Therefore, she kowtowed to Dongli Lu Cang again and said, "Your Highness, all the mistakes are my fault, and have nothing to do with my son. Please, Your Highness, have mercy on my son this time. I promise that I will never make the same mistake again."
Dongli Lu Cang didn't really intend to punish An Xiuyuan's official position; he was just giving him a warning.
Therefore, he glanced indifferently at the people present and said, "If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now. An Xiuyuan, this is the last time. If you continue like this, don't blame me for being ruthless."
"Yes, I understand." An Xiuyuan stuck the document on the ground, his heart filled with remorse.
Yunzhi glanced indifferently at An Xiuyuan, then looked at Wang Yuzhen, who hadn't dared to approach from beginning to end, and a cold smile appeared on her face.
Judging from his expression, this person's feelings for An Xiuyuan are just so-so. Otherwise, why wouldn't he dare to step forward?
After Dong Li, Lu Cang, and Yun Zhi left, Lord Chen didn't linger. He glanced at An Xiuyuan and said, "Lord An, I have other matters to attend to at my office, so I won't keep you from examining your injury any longer."
After saying that, he waved to his men and left.
Once all the outsiders had left, An Xiuyuan got up, glanced at his mother, and went to the front yard.
As for Wang Yuzhen, he didn't even glance at her.
Seeing An Xiuyuan leave like that, Wang Yuzhen felt a panic in her heart, as if she was about to lose something.
So she ignored Wang Shi and hurriedly went after An Xiuyuan.
As she chased after him, she called out, "Master, Master, wait for me!"
When Wang saw Wang Yuzhen chasing after her son, her face turned pale. She was old and had been kneeling for quite a while, and now her legs felt like they weren't her own.
This was a time when she needed someone to take care of her, but Wang Yuzhen left without even asking her a question.
She felt that Wang Yuzhen was also an ingrate.
The news that Xu's parents had gone to An's house quickly spread and reached every household.
When Madam Xu learned that her brother had arrived, but she had received no news of it, her face darkened. Therefore, she immediately instructed the nanny beside her, "Go and inquire where your uncle is staying."
The old woman returned quickly.
When Madam Xu heard that her eldest brother's family was staying at Yunzhi's villa, her expression went beyond just being unpleasant. The Xu family didn't own a villa in the capital; in the past, when they came to the capital, they always stayed in the merchant houses.
But this time, they actually stayed at Yunzhi's villa. They would rather stay at their niece's house than their sister's house; they clearly don't respect her.
Thinking of this, Xu was filled with hatred.
But as her younger sister, she couldn't pretend not to know, nor could she avoid seeing them. Therefore, she had no choice but to take a carriage to Yunzhi's villa.
